These 5 items can reverse a bad hair day and give your hairstyle real staying power.

In an ideal world, we’d all be able to flawlessly style our hair every morning, and it would stay in place throughout the day. No brushes or touch-ups required – just perfectly perfect hair.

The reality? We’re constantly battling rushed mornings, flat hair, awful weather and updos that won’t stay up. But never fear: Keep these five items in your purse, and you’ll be prepared for any hair emergency.

1. Bobby PinsWe all know that bobby pins can save the day, but you might not be using them to full effect! When securing hair, make sure the ridged side of the bobby pin is facing your scalp. The pin will grip your hair better, and the end that usually points upward will be hidden. Genius!

2. Dry ShampooDoes your hair need a little more volume? Or are you running late and don’t have time for the full wash-and-condition routine? Dry shampoo is the answer. Herbal Essences bio:renew dry shampoo instantly revitalizes texture and smells wonderful. Just spray your hair, work it into the roots and brush out.

4. Mini-ToothbrushWhether you’re sporting an updo or dealing with stubborn flyways, the above-mentioned hairspray and a mini-toothbrush are your best friends. Spray the toothbrush head with hairspray, and smooth flyaways around the hairline. The spray will ensure the hairs stay in place, and a toothbrush won’t snag your hair like most traditional combs. (Just make sure you don’t accidentally brush your teeth with it!)
